Administrative / biographical background: |
Upon the introduction of the VAT in 1973, responsibility for the overall administration of the new tax lay with the Internal Taxation Group of HM Customs and Excise. Directorates which had responsibility for VAT included:
The Departmental Planning Unit was responsible for VAT planning prior to 1973 and the development of VAT directives, including those relating to EC harmonisation. In 1977, the Liability directorate and the Machinery and Control directorates were reformed into the VAT Administration Directorate. In 1985 the directorate was reclassified as a Division within the Internal Taxation Group. |
